nvme_init_g...s_fdp_events(9)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💖 NAME 💖

nvme_init_get_features_fdp_events — the glow-up function that initializes your passthru command for Get Features: Flexible Data Placement Events, bestie ✨ (like, the whole libnvme API manual vibe, but make it cute)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nvme_init_get_features_fdp_events (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd
, enum nvme_get_features_sel sel , __u16 phndl , void *data , __u32 len
);

okay so she takes five args and returns void, no cap, and yes the signature is literally that 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use, like the main character of this whole operation 💅
  • sel — picks which type of attribute comes back to you; peep enum nvme_get_features_sel for the menu of options 🔥
  • phndl — the Placement Handle (aka PHNDL, iykyk) 🫶
  • data — your Supported FDP Event Type List data buffer, go look at struct nvme_fdp_supported_event_desc for the deets 🌈
  • len — literally just the length of data, don't overthink her ⭐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what she actually does: she initializes the passthru command buffer for the Get Features command, with the FID value set to NVME_FEAT_FID_FDP_EVENTS. That's it. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly 👑🧚

fr fr though, she's just prepping the buffer for you — the command itself doesn't go anywhere until you actually send it 💀

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 this lil writeup is from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026, and yes it's giving "reference docs but make her slay" 💖🦋🌸💅🫶
